Embodiments of control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) are provided, as are embodiments of a method for fabricating CMGs. In one embodiment, a CMG includes a stator housing, an inner gimbal assembly (IGA), and a torque motor coupled to the stator housing and configured to rotate the IGA about a gimbal axis to selectively generate a desired output torque during operation of the CMG. The IGA includes, in turn, an IGA support structure rotatably coupled to the stator housing, a monolithic CMG rotor rotatably mounted to the IGA support structure, and a spin motor coupled to the IGA support structure and configured to rotate the monolithic CMG rotor about a spin axis.
